Talk talk is an awful ISP.
However, it's cheap and if you are just a casual user. Recommended.
No link for speed boost for me...oh well did see that they now do caller display for free so added that to my account...
mee to :(
???
ok, found this:
so if you're currently paying for caller id you need to switch...
The Turbo Boost is available only if your exchange has been unbundled on the TalkTalk network (LLU) and you will benefit from it only if you can achieve download speeds of higher than 8MB. You must also have an ADSL2-compatible router.
To check the maximum possible download speed your line can handle, please carry out a broadband speed test. If your download speed is more than 8MB, the Turbo Boost may benefit you. We can activate it on your account within 48 hours.
Alternatively, you can sign in to My Account and check the availability of the Turbo Boost in the Manage My Services area. There you'll find your current download speed and whether the Turbo Boost will benefit you. You can also activate the Turbo Boost in My Account. It will take up to 48 hours to be activated.
(Just tested mine it came out at 3.9MB so not for me alas)
Also grabbed the free Caller Display while I was looking at my account - Thanks rob585
After we eventually got connected (about 2 years ago) we've had no problems.
im with them no problems
Wish I could get the speed boost but only get 2.1 meg on an 8meg connection and I am lucky to have that. My exchange is enabled for 24 meg too but I am just too far away and I doubt it will ever be any better than what I have now.
Shame too as I am only 7 miles from Leeds center. No chance of cable getting here either by the look of it as they dont seem to be expanding the network any further:x
I'm 7 miles north of Leeds but get the full 8 meg from talk talk on my little exchange.
Lucky you. I am about 3 miles from our exchange and its always been rubbish. though a friend of ours is another 2 miles from it and gets around 200k:shock:
21st century network my a s s:whistling:
If anyone is having problems with speed, join there forums and ask to have your profile tweeked they will do that for you, i was getting about 6meg before they tweeked my profile.
To be honist they were super and it was all up and running within 5 days.
To top this their support on the members forums is the best support as their team is online and will answer any problems on the forums.
To start with i was at 15 meg sync and with the help of the support team i had them lower my snr level to 6 fastpath and now i get 22meg.
Also their is nice infomation and custom firmware for the netgears to allow for further snr tweaking.
It is never slow for me, and i have never been without a internet service, i do download alot with newsgroups and always get 22meg constant download speed.
Overall the service on the forums is excellent and at a cheap price for a 24meg service.
And now they are cutting the speed boost i will be saving £4 a month excellent.
Hot For me
